Revisiting Thoreau's Cape Cod
Join us at BSU Cape Cod for our Ask the Professor Special Speaker Series: Revisiting Thoreau's Cape Cod with Professor John J. Kucich. Henry David Thoreau is most famous for his two-year experiment in living simply at Walden Pond, but he was continually drawn to Cape Cod. His book about the Cape pulls together three journeys he made along the length of the Cape into a narrative that offers a stunning portrait of this landscape before it became a tourist mecca. Thoreau describes a wild, windswept, desolate peninsula haunted by its Indian and Puritan past and thinly populated by hardscrabble Yankees wresting a living from an unforgiving sea. On the shores of Cape Cod, Thoreau learned a very different lesson about Nature from what he had found in the Walden woods.
